2022. , so it was turned over with the original 15 boxes worth of material that trump turned over to the national archive. so what s fascinating about that is this has been in that big stack of papers that the national archives and the fbi have had in their possession this whole time. at least, that s what it seems like. based on this document. the superseding indictments. , oh i, for one, and curious as to just one exactly it turns up amongst the search, considering that cnn reported previously that in mid march, there was a subpoena from the department of justice to turn over all materials related to iran and to this meeting in bedminster, and trump s team said well, we can t find. it turns out, it was with the national archives and doj this whole time. i m just very curious about how it got there. but it does mean that because it was in florida, the whole time, that it was part of this trench of documents, that check smith could charge trump with
no document, claiming he was showing off newspaper and magazine stories. joining me now is former member of the cia, senior intelligence service author and msnbc national security and to tell adjusts analyst. and hayes brown, msnbc daily columnist and editor. welcome,. guys hayes, in a new article, you write trump s lawyers couldn t find the bedminster document. now we know why. how did this document and up in the special counsel s possession? so, what s fascinating about this is if you look back at the original indictment with original 31 counts of local retention, this document wasn t among them. all of those documents, they have a charge for how long trump have them. most of them were picked up during the august search of mar-a-lago, when the fbi had the warrant to get them. some of them were from june, went after trump was subpoenaed, his team finally turned over what they claim to us the full amount of documents in his possession. this one, though, when you look at the new sup
trump s lawyers couldn t find the bedminster document. now we know why. also, legal analysis on this article about the superseding indictment and its impact. it s all next. a very good they tell you from msnbc world headquarters here in new york, welcome everyone to alex witt reports. we begin with new reaction from donald trump s latest legal troubles. still making the front pages of newspapers around the country. trump is speaking at pennsylvania tonight, and here is pennsylvania congresswoman, from moments ago. it is like something out of a bad mafia movie, with folks, to valets, a centrally, moving boxes, hiding boxes, and now, the additional information of once trump and his lawyers or advised that the fbi was preparing a subpoena to capture the videos, videotapes of what was going on there, he added
